Lead Me By Tallow
Walk with me though the valley,
Hold me up so I can once again see.
There is no need to keep tally
Fading deeper into the shadows, shine your light upon me
Like a candle in a window
Gently swaying in the soft breeze
Until snuffed out by a winnow
Please, darling, don’t let me freeze
Do not waste your tears,
With me all your worries shall die
Sweetheart, let me take those fears.
But before we say goodbye,
Take my hand and hold it tight,
You’ll get along just fine.
Hold it with all your might
Promise me you’re going to shine
No fight on earth is more important
Than being strong and holding on.
My light is now dim, going dormant
Darling, hold me close, nothing will go wrong.
